About this Mod
Local Locator
Local Locator is a client-side Fabric mod that restores the player-tracking compass, allowing you to find nearby friends even on servers where this feature's gamerule is disabled.
Some servers turn off Minecraft's new Locator Compass. This mod reactivates it just for you, but only for players in your immediate area.
It's fully client-side, requires zero configuration, and assigns a unique color to each player on the compass for easy tracking. Just install it and find your friends!

Does Local Locator need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Local Locator as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Local Locator require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Local Locator is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
